I listened to some speeches on the server none really grabbed my attention. So i started looking for my own
This speech has some very interesting parts in it that could create a good visual. In his first story he sums up and gives a lesson about it.
"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
The dots reference good visuals and i think what he is saying is strong. I believe int he words which i think will help when creating the visual for it.
Another good part of this speech is:
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
This section is about his being fired from a company he started. His emotions in this paragraph go from excited from the start of the company to the end when he is completely devastated.
There are two other sections i think would be good for this assignment. I wont post them though. but they are the last section when he is talking about not settling. The second is When he talks about death there are many parts i like in it it would be hard to pick 20 seconds worth especially because he talks slow.
I am sure you have heard this one. The Sunscreen song, which was not actually a song to begin with but an article. The words are so true i love this song. It would be very hard to pick a certain part of this song/speech. I probably can't do it but i am defiantly going to try.
Here is one by cartoonist Bill Watterson. I haven't been able to find it so i can here it but i have the full transcript. Maybe i can do it how i would read the words. This is the section i like.
We're not really taught how to recreate constructively. We need to do more than find diversions; we need to restore and expand ourselves. Our idea of relaxing is all too often to plop down in front of the television set and let its pandering idiocy liquefy our brains. Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the mind is like a car battery-it recharges by running.
You may be surprised to find how quickly daily routine and the demands of "just getting by: absorb your waking hours. You may be surprised to find how quickly you start to see your politics and religion become matters of habit rather than thought and inquiry. You may be surprised to find how quickly you start to see your life in terms of other people's expectations rather than issues. You may be surprised to find out how quickly reading a good book sounds like a luxury.
